Seems like it could happen (like a horse x donkey cross), but I've never heard of it before.

I believe they can cross but it's not overly common.

Can but not common (can breed with peacocks too).

Someone on BYC had one. There was a whole thread about it. I forgot his name though..

ETA: His name was Miracle.. I goind him on feathersite actually.

We hatched one but it didn't last long as a chick. Came out of a guinea egg, in a batch of nothing but guinea eggs...striped like a keet...but had a comb. Wierdest chick I ever saw. We had a 'spare' barred rock roo living in the guinea pen at the time.

It can happen.
Wish I could have one.... lol

I've seen that same listing before. That hen must be pretty old by now. Tempting, but I'll pass. She's probably sterile anyway.

She's probably sterile anyway.

Lets hope so

What kind of awful noise would a bird like that make, you think? I really don't like the sounds of guinea fowl to begin with, personally.

It can happen. But they will be sterile. Kind of like a tukey and a chicken. They are sterile too.
